In the season finale, Dominic travels deep into the wilds of Thailand, searching for one of the most unique and endangered primates on the planet, the Slow Loris, the world's only venomous primate. It's a nocturnal, tree dwelling creature with enormous eyes that can see in the dark, and has one of the sweetest faces on the planet… but don't let that fool you.

Dominic faces one of his most challenging missions ever when he travels to the Land of the Rising Sun in pursuit of the giant Japanese salamander. Measuring over five feet in length and tipping the scales at a whopping 50 pounds, these massive amphibians live and hunt in cold, fast-moving remote mountain streams.

Dominic is in Arizona's Sonoran Desert on a mission to find one of America's most mythic creatures, the Gila Monster. It's the largest of its kind in North America - a gorgeous ground-dwelling creature that packs one of only two venomous lizard bites in the whole world! On his trip around the desert, Dominic runs into other fascinating and dangerous creatures including the biggest species of rattlesnake in North America and a Black Widow Spider.

Dominic is in New Zealand on a mission to find one of the largest and heaviest insects on earth, the very rare giant wetapunga - the largest species of Wetas, found only in New Zealand. In a Wild Things twist, Dominic will be accompanied by his best friend and fellow hobbit, Billy Boyd. He and Billy have not been in New Zealand together since they acted in The Lord of the Rings Trilogies.
